Action for Happiness

Fathering Project
Glenore Grove SS is now in partnership with this project.
More effective fathers and father-figures means a generation of kids with happier, healthier futures. The Fathering Project aims to inspire and equip fathers and father-figures to positively engage with the children in their lives – for the benefit of kids.
There is no doubt that, when schools engage and partner with families, they will see significant benefits for their students and therefore important outcomes for school improvement. This evidence is supported by the Australian Government through national, as well as state and territory policies requiring schools to plan and report on their progress in engaging families.
The Fathering Project recognises the importance of school partnerships with families and research shows that by specifically targeting fathers, schools will see significance additional benefits for the children and for the school as a whole.
Research now highlights the importance of fathers’ partnerships with their children’s schools and engagement in their learning. However, we are still seeing that family engagement is largely seen as domain of mothers particularly in two parent families. The Fathering Project provides support and resources at all levels of the whole-school community to support the development of positive school/family partnerships with a special emphasis on engaging fathers.
We are hoping to get this project up and running with an activity this term - we may have to wait a little longer!
But we could do something virtually in the meantime! Please make sure you share it with us on our FaceBook Page or Class Dojo - #best dad moments
Jump Rope for Heart
Jump Rope for Heart kicks off this term!
Jump Rope for Heart is a fantastic physical activity and fundraising program that has been run by the Heart Foundation for over 36 years. It’s a great way for your child to keep fit and learn new skills, but it also helps raise funds for vital heart research and education programs.
Since Jump Rope for Heart started in 1983, schools like ours have raised more than $104 million for the Heart Foundation’s lifesaving work. It’s important you register your child online, so they can receive the full benefits of the program and participate in online fundraising, simply follow the link below to get started. https://www.jumprope.org.au/register/jump-rope-for-heart/defaultparentflow
Students will be skipping during lunch breaks with Mrs Redgrave, during this time you can share their online fundraising page with family and friends to help raise money for this great cause.
We will hold our school Jump Off Day at the end of term this will mark the end of the program and is a chance for everyone to come together to skip and show off their newly learned skills.
Thank you for supporting the Jump Rope for Heart program!
